Got to love a club that my favourite ever Barnsley player Neil "Redders" Redfearn played for. Really impressed that it's only 20 quid for the match ticket. With you being a former premiership regular upto this season and being based in the more expensive captial, I am impressed with the price. Especially when I paid 22 quid to stand in a shed stand cramped together at Colchester. My best friends step grandad is a Charlton season ticket holder and I hope to catch up with him before the game whilst down there for some banter over a drink. I've heard the surrounding area is good for food and so I might try out your local chippy.
As for the match, well I write this before setting off to our match against Bristol City at home. We all expected us to build on last season, but none of us can really believe how well we are playing. Infact having players, managers and fans of Southampton and Cardiff saying stuff like "we should be beating teams like Barnsley" spurred us on due to lack of respect. I think we have had Phil Joslin twice before and won both matches 3-1 which can only be a good sign haha. I will check back regularly to see how popular this thread is.

I remember us beating you 5-3 at The Valley many years ago - you'll no doubt find a bit of reminiscing on here about it. You were 3-0 up after about half an hour. Be good if the forthcoming encounter is half as much fun.
Enjoy your visit.
Is it really 10 seasons since Barnsley graced the Premier League - jeez time flies.........
I'm looking forward to this one as my brother in law originates from Barnsley and is a fan.
We always enjoyed the Charlton v Barnsley games back in the nineties.
Wasn't it Barnsley when Pettersen got kicked and there was a mass bundle with all the players except the Barnsley keeper?
You are doing well. I looked at the table to see how you are fairing, and automatically looked at the bottom, and made my way up !! I know its lacking in respect, but its automatically what i did.
We're doing ok, but still don't look the finished article. You'll either get something from the game, or we'll spank you !
£20 is very good, our club are fair like that. What you charging away fans this season ?
HAHAHAHAHA
'Its carnage'

Anything else you wish to know please do ask. I am over the moon and know you will struggle with Brian Howard. You have to be worried about how easy we took apart a unbeaten team.
Back down to earth with a bump saturday eh LOL
what sort of side are you, a footballing side / coutner attack / direct / thugs etc ???
It's pay back time?
Hope you enjoy the game Saturday.

As for Charlie Block and his thoughts on Barnsley, well I live in Huddersfield haha. Don't know if you heard, but after our last away match at Southampton, there fans were sore losers and caused a lot of bother at the police free match. The official supporters coach got the windows smashed in. I hope it's safer for away fans at your ground and that everyone behaves.
Saw the goals last night, never heard of that Howard but took his goal very impressively. And christ that over bloke caught that free kick. Never heard of your manager either, but looks like he's put a good squad together on the cheap. I think we'll turn you over, i honestly do, but it should be a decent game.
Don't be too offended by our 'ten things you never knew about Barnsley' on Friday - its all tongue in cheek :-)

I don't think we will beat you 3-0, i'm just making a point lol. I just hope you don't go all "big team mentality" on us and think you're in for a easy game. I cannot see more than a goal in it. If we go 2-0 up, we won't throw it away like the bloody dee dars from S6.
